Rueda is 5-10 with a lanky frame that has a lot of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from a balanced athletic stance, short stride on line, short smooth load back. Hips rotate completely and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short and straight to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path, showed a pull preference with ability to use the whole field, exit velocity was 74. In the infield, active feet, rounds the ball and fields with a wider base and soft hands, works through ball to a quick clean exchange, throws from a low three-quarters slot, position velocity was 78.

Rueda has a lanky frame with a lot of projection and is very quick and athletic. Fast feet, moves well on the infield with very quick, soft hands and good actions. Lightning quick exchange and throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, loose arm action. Has a chance to be a very good defender at short down the road and look forward to getting out and seeing him at the plate again in the future.
